National Cancer TRE

NHS Digital’s TRE service for England provides approved researchers with access to essential linked, de-identified health data to quickly answer COVID-19 related research questions. The TRE service provides researchers with support on data access requests, provision of data using the secure data platform the Data Processing Service (DPS) and help with analysis work. Approved research projects will help to guide national decision making and recommend potential interventions to reduce the severity of COVID-19 outcomes.
NHSD are delivering the TRE service in partnership with HDRUK.  The shared objective is to provide rapid, safe and trustworthy access to data in a transparent way that accelerates the pace of quality research.
